Sweet Deal from The King

Love & Scraps fans: This post is especially for you.

King Arthur Flour shared with me an exclusive offer to share with you — 20 percent off a $90 (or more) order. Quick! Stock up your holiday baking supplies! This offer is valid through November 6 (that's Sunday, tomorrow, so get on it).

I don't normally put myself out there for products/brands/companies, but I make an exception for employee-owned KAF — generous, warm-hearted people and phenomenal products.

That is steep. Yikes. I buy my KAF all-purpose flour at BJ's ($5.99 for 10 pounds). Also, 5-pound bags in Target and Walmart sell for considerably less than what you're paying at Shop-Rite — usually $2.99. ... In my opinion, KAF is worth the price. I bake my own bread and it all works out to be a lot less expensive than buying store-bought loaves. A lot less.

About Me

I love scraps. Think leftovers; the yummy gunge on the bottom of the pan; the stuff that insists on sticking around; the scribblings of loved ones, faded and worn thin (the scribblings, not the loved ones); recipes from your mom and your grandma, written decades ago and bearing the stains of their culinary creations. They are all scraps. And I love them.
When not consuming scraps, contriving to get more scraps, writing and reading scraps, I go about my business in the great state of Vermont. The wood stove never catches a break.
By the way, some of the scraps, AKA my recipes, are inherited, some original, some adapted from the bajillions out there.

"It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one."— M.F.K.
